Oct-26-15  Immortal Gambit: 8. d5 gives white the advantage

  OBIT: <Immortal Gambit> Not really. After 8. d5 Qe7 9. Qxc4 (9. Bg5 Qxf7 10. Qxc4 exd5 might be a better try for White, to avoid the queen trade) exd5+ 10. Qe2 and now Black can spoil all White's fun with 10...Qxe2+ (picking off the pawn immediately with 10...Qxf7 should be fine as well, although it keeps the queens on the board) 11. Nxe2 Be7, picking up the f-pawn in a few moves. Black will be up a pawn, and his king is in no danger after the queen trade.
